Join us for the live debut of What’s Behind the News, bringing Europe’s most consequential stories to life and hosted by veteran Brussels journalist James Kanter.<\/p>\n

With a live audience, a rotating cast of sharp journalistic voices and analysis driven by what is defining the news cycle, What’s Behind the News is built to move with the moment – and this first recording is where it all begins.<\/p>\n

Every episode, James Kanter weaves together guests, stories and debate into one compelling conversation. For this one, he’ll be joined by a panel of fellow journalists, each bringing their own perspective, skilled analysis and comment for much needed sense-making – the first of many line-ups that will shift and evolve as the news demands.<\/p>\n

No fixed agenda or guests. Just the stories that matter right now. From the corridors of EU power to the fault lines reshaping the continent, the panel will dig into the headlines, share the dispatches that didn’t make the front page, and debate the forces defining our world – live, unscripted, in front of you.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re a policy wonk, a news junkie, or simply trying to make sense of it’s happening around you and the wider world, we invite you to be part of something from day one. Join us for the news. Stay for the conversation.<\/p>\n
